By now hopefully most of you have heard the bolt-out-of-the-blue news I sent out by email on Monday, the news that my family is moving to California next year, because I have accepted a new call to serve a UCC in the Bay Area. If you hadn’t yet heard the news, and you know me, I’m sorry that I did not get to tell you more gently. And if you don’t know me, I ask your forgiveness for the ways in which this sermon and today’s service may make you feel like you have suddenly crashed a very intimate family moment.
